 2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 
 2.1. Revolving Advances.

(“Advances”) to Borrowers in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the Maximum Commitment less the outstanding balance of all undrawn or unreimbursed Letters of
Credit. The obligation to repay each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, with interest as provided herein, shall be further evidenced by a promissory note made by the Borrowers payable to the order of such Lender in the form of Schedule
2.1(a) annexed hereto (each, a “Revolving Credit Note”). Neither the original nor a copy of the Revolving Credit Notes shall be required, however, to establish or prove any Obligations. In the event that a Revolving Credit Note
is ever lost, mutilated, or destroyed, the Borrowers shall execute a replacement thereof and deliver such replacement to the Agent upon receipt from the applicable Lender of a lost note affidavit and reasonably satisfactory indemnification from the
applicable Lender. 
 (b) Revolving Nature. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may
be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. 
 (c) Limits on Obligation. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make an Advance if: (i) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) a Default or Event of
Default would be reasonably likely to result from the making of such Advance; or (iii) after giving effect to the making of such Advance, the Revolving Facility Usage would exceed the Maximum Commitment. 
  

 29 








 (d) Revolving Credit Termination Date. All amounts borrowed pursuant
to this Section, together with all other Obligations, shall be due and payable on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. 
 (e) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing and election of an applicable interest rate shall be made by an irrevocable written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent, which notice must
be received by Agent (i) no later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date that is the requested Funding Date in the case of a request for an Advance bearing interest at the Base Rate or (ii) at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date in the case of a request for an Advance bearing interest at a Eurodollar Rate, in each case specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall
be a Business Day. At Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time, with such telephonic notice to be confirmed in
writing within 24 hours of the giving of such notice. 
 (f) Agent’s Election. Promptly after receipt
of a request for a Borrowing of an Advance pursuant to Section 2.1(e) in an amount equal to or less than $5,000,000, the Agent shall elect, in its discretion, (i) to have the terms of Section 2.1(g) apply to such
requested Borrowing, or (ii) to make an Agent Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1(h) in the amount of the requested Borrowing. Any requested Borrowing in an amount greater than $5,000,000 shall be made pursuant to the terms of
Section 2.1(g). 
 (g) Making of Advances. 
 (i) Promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1(g) in excess of $5,000,000 or
otherwise at the Agent’s election in accordance with Section 2.1(f), the Agent shall notify the Lenders, not later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto, by
telephone, and promptly followed by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Agent in same day
funds, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, not later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After the Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Advances, upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, the Agent shall make the proceeds of such Advances available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds equal to the proceeds of such Advances
received by the Agent to the Designated Account; provided, however, the Agent shall not request any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any Advance if the Agent has actual knowledge, that (A) one or
more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.1 or 3.2 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (B) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such
Funding Date, 
  

 30 








 (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the
Restatement Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Restatement Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of
Borrowers the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such Lender’s Pro Rata Share available to Agent in immediately available funds on the applicable Funding Date
and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender (including any Deteriorating Lender) shall not have made its Pro Rata
Share of such Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds on such Funding Date and Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrowers such amount, that Lender shall immediately following such Funding Date make its Pro Rata
Share of such Borrowing available to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lenders Rate for each day or portion thereof from such Funding Date to the day on which such Lender has so paid Agent. A notice from Agent submitted to any Lender
with respect to amounts (including interest) owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, plus any accrued interest payable by such Lender to Agent thereon, is paid
to Agent by such Lender such payment (excluding interest) to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Advance on the Funding Date for such Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not paid to Agent on the Business Day
following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Borrowers of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such
Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation
hereunder to make an Advance on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date. 
 (h) Making of Agent Loans. 
 (i) In the event of any requested Borrowing of an Advance in an amount less than or equal to $5,000,000, at the Agent’s
election (it being expressly understood that the Agent has no commitment to make such Advance), Agent may make an Advance in the amount of such Borrowing (any such Advance made solely by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.1(h) being
referred to as an “Agent Loan” and such Advances being referred to collectively as “Agent Loans”) available to Borrowers on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring same day funds to Borrower Designated
Account. Each Agent Loan is an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Advances, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account (and for the account of the
holder of any participation interest with respect to such Advance). The Agent shall not make any Agent Loan if the Agent has actual knowledge, that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.1 or
3.2 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (ii) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.1 or 3.2 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making, in its sole discretion, any Agent Loan. 
  

 31 








 (ii) The Agent Loans shall be secured by the Collateral and shall
constitute Advances and Secured Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances pursuant to Section 2.8. 
 (i) Agent Protective Advances. 
 (i) Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion,
(1) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (but without constituting a waiver of such Default or Event of Default), or (2) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3.1 or 3.2 have not been satisfied, to make Advances to Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any
portion thereof; (B) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of repayment of the Secured Obligations, or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Lender Group
Expenses and the costs, fees, and expenses described in Section 10 (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.1(i) being hereinafter referred to as “Agent Protective Advances”); provided, that
Agent shall not make any Agent Protective Advances to Borrowers without the consent of the Required Lenders if the amount thereof would exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate at any one time. 
 (ii) Agent Protective Advances shall be repayable on demand and secured by the Collateral, shall constitute Advances and
Secured Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances pursuant to Section 2.8. 
 (j) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Advances is intended by the Lenders to be equal at all times to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding
Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, the Agent and the Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
settlement among them as to the Advances, the Agent Loans, and the Agent Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (i) The Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more
frequent basis if so determined by the Agent, (1) for itself, with respect to each Agent Loan and Agent Protective Advance, and (2) with respect to Collections received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telephone and promptly
followed by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement
Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances, Agent Loans, and Agent Protective Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date, the amount of repayments received
in such period, and the amounts

  

 32 








 
allocated to each Lender of the principal, interest, fees, and other charges for such period. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.1(j)(ii)):
(y) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Agent Loans, and Agent Protective Advances exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Agent Loans, and Agent Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall by no
later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date transfer in same day funds to the account of such Lender as Lender may designate, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date,
its Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Agent Loans, and Agent Protective Advances; and (z) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Agent Loans, and Agent Protective Advances is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Agent
Loans, and Agent Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date transfer in same day funds to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, an amount such that
each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Agent Loans, and Agent Protective Advances. Such amounts made available to the Agent under clause (z) of the immediately
preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Agent Loan or Agent Protective Advance and, together with the portion of such Agent Loan or Agent Protective Advance representing WFRF’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall
constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, the Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account
such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lenders Rate. 
 (ii) In
determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Agent Loans, and Agent Protective Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Agent Loans, and Agent Protective Advances as of a
Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and
proceeds of Collateral. To the extent that a net amount is owed to any such Lender after such application, such net amount shall be distributed by Agent to that Lender as part of such Settlement. 
 (iii) Between Settlement Dates, the Agent, to the extent no Agent Protective Advances or Agent Loans are outstanding, may
pay over to WFRF any payments received by the Agent, which in accordance with the terms of the Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to WFRF’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date,
Collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to WFRF’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Agent Loans or Agent Protective Advances, as provided for in the previous sentence, WFRF shall
pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date,
its Pro Rata Share of the Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Agent with respect to Agent Loans and Agent Protective Advances,

  

 33 








 
and each Lender with respect to the Advances other than Agent Loans and Agent Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on
the daily amount of funds employed by the Agent or the Lenders, as applicable. 
 (k) Notation. The Agent
shall record on its books the principal amount of the Advances owing to each Lender, including the Agent Loans and Agent Protective Advances owing to the Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time. In addition, each Lender is
authorized, at such Lender’s option, to note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender’s Advances in its books and records, including computer records, such books and records constituting rebuttably
presumptive evidence, absent manifest error, of the accuracy of the information contained therein. 
 (l)
Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Advances (other than Agent Loans and Agent Protective Advances) shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be
responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advances hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to
make any Advances hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advances hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Advances hereunder. 
 (m) Effect of Bankruptcy. If a case is commenced by or against any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, or other
statute providing for debtor relief, prior to the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, or if any of the Agent or any Affiliate shall seek to provide a Borrower with, or consent to a third party’s providing
, any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral, constituting Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar provision of any state or foreign insolvency
law (each, a “DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be Collateral), then each of
the Lenders agrees that it will not raise any objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on any basis and not offer its support of any alternative
debtor-in-possession financing which seeks to prime or be pari passu with the Secured Obligations. 
 2.2.
Defaulting Lender. 
 (a) If a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and
remedies that may be available to the other Lenders, Agent, the Borrowers or any other party at law or in equity, and not in limitation thereof, (i) such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making
rights related to, the Obligations in respect of Required Lender votes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended for so long as such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender (on its own behalf and on
behalf of any of its Affiliates that is a Bank Product Provider) shall be deemed to have permanently (unless reinstated as set forth below) assigned, without further consideration, any and all payments due to it from the Borrowers, whether on
account of

  

 34 








 
outstanding Advances, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-Defaulting Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Obligations until,
as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares of all outstanding Obligations shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment
causing such delinquency, and (iii) at the option of the Agent, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender (or to any Affiliate of such Defaulting Lender which is a Bank Product Provider) hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest,
fees, Bank Products or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender (or its Affiliate), be retained by the Agent as cash collateral for, and applied by the Agent to, defaulted and future funding obligations of the
Defaulting Lender in respect of any Advance or existing or future participating interest in any Letter of Credit. The Defaulting Lender’s (and its Affiliates) decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon (a) the payment by the Defaulting Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any Obligations, any participation obligation, or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together
with interest thereon at a rate equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid and (b) receipt by the Agent and the Borrowers of a certification
by such Defaulting Lender of its ability and intent to comply with the provisions of this Agreement going forward. The operation of this section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any non-Defaulting Lender, or
relieve or excuse the performance by Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder. 
 (b) The Agent shall
also have the right, but not the obligation, in its Permitted Discretion, to cause the assignment to a non-Defaulting Lender or Lenders or an Eligible Transferee, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 15.1, hereof,
without any further action by the Defaulting Lender for no cash consideration, of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment to fund future Advances and participate in Letters of Credit. Upon any such assignment of the Commitment of any Defaulting
Lender, the Defaulting Lender’s share in future Advances, Letters of Credit, and any fees payable to the Lenders and its other rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto (but not with respect to then outstanding Obligations owed to
the Defaulting Lender) shall terminate on the date of such assignment, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and
Acceptance. 
 (c) In addition to the rights of the non-Defaulting Lenders set forth in
Section 2.2(b) above, each Borrower shall have the right, at any time, upon at least five Business Days’ notice to a Defaulting Lender (with a copy to the Agent), to terminate in whole such Lender’s Commitments and to replace
such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.10 hereof. 
 (d) Each
Defaulting Lender shall indemnify the Agent and each non-Defaulting Lender (and their respective Affiliates and their employees, agents, consultants, advisors, and attorneys) from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not
limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by the Agent or by any non-Defaulting Lender, on account of a Defaulting Lender’s failure to timely fund its Pro Rata Share of an Advance, participate in Letters of Credit, or to
otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. 
  

 35

 (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 
 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the Agent, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders

account of the Borrowers (each, an “L/C”) or to undertake to purchase participations or execute indemnities or reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an “L/C Undertaking”) with respect to letters of
credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Restatement Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer is Wells Fargo) for the account of Borrowers, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by the Issuing Bank, in accordance with
Section 2.3(b) below and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrowers and any drawings thereunder; provided that (w) after giving effect to the issuance of
any requested Letter of Credit, Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Maximum Commitment, (x) such Letter of Credit shall not be issued in an amount which would exceed Availability as in effect immediately prior to its issuance,
(y) any Lender’s Pro Rata Share shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (y) L/C Usage shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit, and (z) the expiry date of the proposed Letter of Credit is no later than thirty (30) days
prior to the Maturity Date (the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”). Each request by the Borrowers for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the issuance or
amendment so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence and with the succeeding clauses “ii” and “iii”. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon
and reimbursed. 
 (ii) Without limitation of the foregoing clause “i” no Letter of Credit shall be
issued, if: 
 (A) with respect to any Standby L/C, subject to Section 2.3(b)(iii), the expiry date
of such requested Standby L/C would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 
 (B) with respect to Documentary Letters of Credit, subject to Section 2.3(b)(iii), the expiry date of such
requested Documentary Letter of Credit would occur more than 180 days after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date. 
  

 36 








 (iii) Without limitation of the foregoing clauses “i” and
“ii”, no Letter of Credit shall be issued without the prior consent of the Agent and Issuing Bank if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law or any request or directive (whether
or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular
or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Date, or shall impose
upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Restatement Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; 
 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of
credit generally; 
 (C) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; provided
that if the Issuing Bank, in its discretion and with the consent of the Agent, issues a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, all reimbursements by the Borrowers of the honoring of any drawing under such Letter of Credit
shall be paid in Dollars. 
 (D) any Lender is at such time a Deteriorating Lender hereunder, unless the Agent
or the Issuing Bank has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Deteriorating Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Lender. 
 (iv) The Issuing Bank shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Issuing Bank would not be permitted at such time to issue
such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 
 (v) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents
associated therewith, and the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agent in Article 17 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of
Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in Article 17 included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and
(B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Bank. 
  

 37 








 (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;
Auto-Extension Letters of Credit. 
 (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may
be, upon the request of the Borrowers delivered to the Agent in the form of a Letter of Credit application in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its Permitted Discretion (the “Letter of Credit Application”),
appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Person. Any Letter of Credit Application or other document delivered hereunder that is signed by an Authorized Person shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized by all necessary
corporate, partnership and/or other action and such Authorized Person shall be conclusively presumed to have acted on behalf of the Borrowers. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., California
time, at least two Business Days (or such other date and time as the Agent may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an
initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Agent and Issuing Bank in their Permitted Discretion: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of
Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Agent or Issuing Bank may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an
amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Agent and Issuing Bank in their Permitted Discretion: (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the
proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Agent and Issuing Bank may require in their Permitted Discretion. Additionally, the Borrowers
shall furnish to the Issuing Bank and the Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Issuing Bank or the Agent may reasonably require.

 (ii) Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to
(without any further action), and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. Upon any change in the Commitments under this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that with respect to all L/C Usage, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to
reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of the assigning and assignee Lenders. 
  

 38 








 (iii) If the Borrowers so request in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the Issuing Bank may, in its Permitted Discretion, issue a Standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of
Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a
day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Agent or Issuing Bank, the Borrowers shall not be
required to make a specific request to the Agent or Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the
extension of such Standby Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Agent shall instruct the Issuing Bank not to permit any such extension if
(A) the Agent has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to cause the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions
of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.3(a) or otherwise), or (B) the Issuing Bank has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is thirty days before the Non-Extension Notice Date
from the Agent or the Borrowers that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.2 is not then satisfied, and directing the Issuing Bank not to permit such extension. 
 (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with
respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank will make available to the Borrowers and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 
 (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent thereof and the Agent shall notify the Borrowers; provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such payment. Not later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the date of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit if such notice of a Letter of Credit drawing is received by the
Borrowers before 9:00 a.m. (California time) on such date or 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately following such date if such notice of a Letter of Credit drawing was received after 9:00 a.m. (California time) on such date
(each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall reimburse the Issuing Bank through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the Issuing Bank by such time, the Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to
have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount subject to the amount of the unutilized Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 3.2. Any notice
given by the Issuing Bank or the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(c)(i) may be given by telephone or electronic means. 
  

 39 








 (ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to
Section 2.3(c)(i) make funds available to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 10:00 a.m., California time, on the Business Day specified in such
notice by the Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so
received to the Issuing Bank. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Bank a Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed
Amount that is not so refinanced (such Borrowing, an “L/C Borrowing”), which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s
payment to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.2 (each such Advance, an “L/C Advance”). 
 (iv) Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Issuing Bank. 
 (v) Each Lender’s obligation
to make Base Rate Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.3(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Bank, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or
Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.3(c) by the time specified in Section 2.3(c)(ii), the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date
such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Base Rate and a rate

  

 40 








 
determined by the Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing Bank in
connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C
Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At anytime after the Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Agent a
Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.3(c), if the Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether
directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted,
in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Agent. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i) is
required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 19.6 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing
Bank its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of
the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers or any Subsidiary may have
at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
  

 41 








 (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under such Letter of Credit, provided that the Issuing Bank has acted commercially reasonably; 
 (iv) any payment by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any payment made by the Issuing Bank under such Letter
of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of
Credit, including any arising in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding; 
 (v) any other circumstance or
happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries; or 
 (vi) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any
claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the Agent and the Issuing Bank. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing
Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. Borrowers’ delivery of any such notice shall not relieve or waive Borrowers’ reimbursement obligations with respect to any such Letter of Credit in the event of any
drawing thereunder. 
 (f) Role of Issuing Bank. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the
validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Bank, the Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, and
attorneys-in-fact nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of a breach of this Agreement, violation of Applicable Law, gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or
delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit or any error in interpretation of technical terms; or (iv) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument
related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit and the proceeds

  

 42 








 
thereof; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Bank, the Agent, any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, and attorneys-in-fact nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Bank
shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.3(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim
against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by
the Issuing Bank’s breach of this Agreement, violation of Applicable Law, willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a
sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary (or the Issuing Bank may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit), and the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds
thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
 (g) Underlying
L/Cs. 
 (i) Borrowers agree to be bound by the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of
any Underlying Letter of Credit. Borrowers understand that the L/C Undertakings may require Issuing Bank to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer. Borrowers
hereby agree to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Issuing Bank harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), or liability incurred by the Issuing Bank under any L/C Undertaking as a result of the
Issuing Bank’s indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Bank. 
 (ii) Borrowers hereby authorize and direct any Underlying Issuer to deliver
to the Issuing Bank all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Bank’s instructions with respect to all
matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application. 
 (iii) Any
and all charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Bank relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately shall be reimbursable by Borrowers to Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank; it being acknowledged and agreed that the Underlying Issuer may impose charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals. 
  

 43 








 (h) Increased Cost. 
 If by reason of (i) any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application
thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Underlying Issuer, Issuing Bank, or the Agent with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or
monetary authority including, without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto): 
 (A) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit
issued hereunder, or 
 (B) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer, Issuing Bank or the Agent any other
condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto; 
 and the result of the
foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Underlying Issuer, Issuing Bank, Agent or Lenders of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by the
Underlying Issuer, Issuing Bank, Agent or Lenders, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrowers, and Borrowers shall pay on
demand such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base
Rate Loans hereunder. The determination by Underlying Issuer, Issuing Bank, Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable
detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto. 
 (i) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Agent, (i) if the Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C
Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then extant L/C Usage. For purposes of this
Section 2.2 “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in
an amount equal to 105% of the then extant L/C Usage, pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing Bank in their Permitted Discretion (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). The
Borrowers hereby grant to the Agent a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Wells
Fargo or an account maintained by the Agent subject to a Restricted Account Agreement. If at any time the Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent or that the total
amount of such funds is less than the aggregate L/C Usage, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by

  

 44 








 
the Agent, pay to the Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate outstanding amount over (y) the total amount of
funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the
extent permitted under Applicable Law, to reimburse the Issuing Bank and, to the extent not so applied, shall thereafter be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. 
 (j) Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Bank. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent on behalf of the
Issuing Bank for the Issuing Bank’s own account the customary presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. It is
acknowledged and agreed by Borrowers that such fees and charges may be changed from time to time. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 
 (k) Consignment of Bill of Lading. The Borrowers shall upon the request of the Agent consign to the Agent, or the
Issuing Bank any bill of lading which Inventory which is supported by a Documentary Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank. 
 (l) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 
 (m) The Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify, save, defend, and hold Agent, Issuing Bank and each Lender harmless from any
loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit including any such loss or claim due to any action taken by any Issuing Bank;
provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify the Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Person. The Borrowers further agree to hold Agent and each Lender harmless from any errors or omission, negligence or misconduct by the Issuing Bank. The Borrowers agree to be bound by the Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s or Underlying
Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Letter of Credit, even though this interpretation may be different from Borrowers’ own, and the Borrowers understand and agree that none of the Agent, the Lenders, or any Issuing Bank shall
be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrowers’ instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto other than those
caused by its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrowers understand that L/C Undertakings may require Lenders to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by the Borrowers
against such Underlying Issuer. The Borrowers hereby agree, severally each as to 100%, to indemnify, save, defend, and hold each Lender harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), or liability
incurred by Lenders under any L/C Undertaking as a result of Lender’s indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or
liability that is caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender. 
  

 45 








 (n) On the Restatement Date, (i) Existing Letters of Credit shall be
deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement, (iii) the face amount of such Existing Letters of Credit shall be included in the calculation of the Availability, (iv) the provisions of this
Agreement shall apply thereto, and the Borrowers and the Lenders hereunder hereby expressly assume all obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit that they would have if such Letters of Credit had been issued pursuant to this Agreement and
(v) all liabilities of any Borrower with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute obligations of the Borrower hereunder. 
 2.4. Intentionally Omitted. 
 2.5. Intentionally Omitted.

 2.6. Payments. 
 (a) Payments by Borrowers. 
 (i) All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without set-off, recoupment, deduction, or counterclaim, except as
otherwise required by law. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers shall be made to Agent for the account of the Lenders, Issuing Bank or Agent, as the case may be, and shall be made in immediately available funds,
no later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 11:00 am. (California time), at the option of Agent, shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day. 
 (ii) Whenever any
payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (iii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders or Issuing
Bank that Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender or Issuing Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender or Issuing Bank. If and to the extent Borrowers have not made such payment in full to Agent, each Lender or
Issuing Bank shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank, together with interest thereon at the Base Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank until the date
repaid. 
 (b) Apportionment and Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided with respect to
Defaulting Lenders, aggregate principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Advances to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of the fees
(other

  

 46 








 
than fees designated for Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s separate account) shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among the Lenders. All payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such
payments not relating to principal or interest on specific Advances, or not constituting payment of specific fees and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied, first, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to Agent
from Borrowers; second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders and Issuing Bank from Borrowers; third, to pay interest due in respect of all Advances, including Agent Loans and Agent Protective Advances; fourth, to pay or
prepay principal of Agent Loans and Agent Protective Advances; fifth, ratably to pay principal of the Advances (other than Agent Loans and Agent Protective Advances) and unreimbursed obligations in respect of Letters of Credit (and, if such payment
occurs after the acceleration of the Obligations due to an Event of Default, to Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit up to an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate extant value of all such Letters of Credit); and sixth, ratably to
pay any other Secured Obligations due to Agent, any Lender or any Bank Product Providers by Borrowers. Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender (for Lender’s own account and for the account of any Affiliate of such Lender which is a Bank
Product Provider) and Issuing Bank, pursuant to the applicable wire transfer instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it (or any of its Affiliates which is a Bank Product Provider) may be entitled to receive, subject to a
Settlement delay as provided for in Section 2.1(j). 
 2.7. Overadvances. If, at any time or
for any reason, the Revolving Credit Usage is greater than Maximum Commitment as then in effect, Borrowers immediately shall pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess to be used by Agent to reduce the Obligations pursuant to the terms of
Section 2.6(b). 
 2.8. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

 (a) Interest Rate. Except as provided in Section 2.8(c), all Obligations (except for
undrawn Letters of Credit) shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows: (i) if the relevant Obligation is an Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin for
Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the relevant Obligation is an Base Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, and (iii) all other Obligations (except Letters of Credit) at a per
annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. 
 (b) Letter of Credit
Fee. As to each outstanding Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, an L/C Fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in Section 2.3(g)) which shall accrue at a
rate equal to the aggregate L/C Fees applicable to such Letters of Credit times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. 
 (c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, 
 (i) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms
hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to two percentage points above the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and 
  

 47 








 (ii) the L/C Fees provided in Section 2.8(b) shall be increased
to a per annum rate equal to two percentage points above the L/C Fee otherwise payable hereunder. 
 The interest rates and L/C
Fees set forth in these subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.8(c) shall be collectively referred to as the “Default Rate”. 
 (d) Intentionally Omitted. 
 (e) Payments. Interest in respect of Base Rate Loans and Letter of Credit fees payable hereunder shall be due and
payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month during the term hereof. Interest in respect of each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the last day of the applicable Interest Period or, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, on the first day of each month during the Interest Period. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, at its option, without prior notice to such Borrower, to charge such interest and Letter of Credit fees, all Lender Group
Expenses (as and when incurred), the charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for in Section 2.3(e) (as and when accrued or incurred), the fees and charges provided for in Section 2.13 (as and when accrued or incurred),
and all installments or other payments due under any Loan Document to the applicable Borrowers’ Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances
hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded and shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. 
 (f) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day
year for the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (g) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no
event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem
applicable. Borrowers and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall be liable only for
the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess or held as Cash
Collateral for the Secured Obligations in Agent’s Permitted Discretion.

 2.9. Cash Management; Collection of Accounts. 
 (a) Borrowers shall (i) establish and maintain cash management services of a type and on terms reasonably satisfactory
to Agent at one or more of the banks set forth on Schedule 2.9 (each a “Cash Management Bank”), and (ii) at all times maintain a Restricted Account. Immediately after the Restatement Date, Borrowers shall deposit all
Collections in respect thereof to such Restricted Account or into one of the DDAs set forth on Schedule 2.9 (a “Cash Management Account”) subject to the requirements of this Section 2.9. Borrowers, Agent, and the
Restricted Account Bank shall enter into the Restricted Account Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion, which among other things shall provide for the opening of the Restricted Account for the deposit of
Collections at the Restricted Account Bank. Each Borrower agrees that all Collections and other amounts received by such Borrower from any Account Debtor or any other source immediately upon receipt shall be deposited (i) into the Restricted
Account or (ii) into a Cash Management Account. Each Cash Management Bank shall be directed by the Borrowers via irrevocable written notice in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in its Permitted Discretion to remit all such
Collections and such other amounts no less frequently than once each day to, and only to, the Restricted Account. The Restricted Account Agreement and arrangement contemplated thereby shall not be modified by a Borrower without the prior written
consent of Agent. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Restricted Account Agreement, so long as no Cash Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall have the right to have the entire collected balance in
the Restricted Account transferred, on a daily basis, to the Operating Account (as defined in the Restricted Account Agreement), and upon the occurrence and during the continuation of Cash Dominion Event and direction by Agent to the Restricted
Account Bank, amounts on deposit in the Restricted Account may be retained therein or transferred, all at the direction of the Agent, or, the Restricted Account may be transferred, at the direction of the Agent, into the name of Agent and all
amounts received in the Restricted Account wired each Business Day into an account (the “Agent’s Account”) maintained by Agent at a depositary selected by Agent. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Cash Dominion Event, Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to, without
further notice to or consent from Borrowers, date the Credit Card Notifications and DDA notifications delivered to Agent by Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.25 hereof and deliver such Credit Card Notifications and DDA notifications to the
applicable Credit Card Processors and DDA institutions. Borrowers shall not attempt to change any direction or designation set forth in any Credit Card Notification or DDA notification regarding payment of charges or funds on deposit without the
prior written consent of Agent. As a condition to the termination of any Cash Dominion Period, Borrowers shall deliver replacement original executed and undated Credit Card Notifications and DDA notifications to Agent, to be used by the Agent
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.9(b) in the event a subsequent Cash Dominion Event occurs. Borrowers further agree to deliver such replacement Credit Card Notifications and DDA notifications to Agent in the event that the Agent
notifies the Borrowers that any such notifications are lost, mutilated, or destroyed. 
 2.10. Crediting
Payments; Application of Collections. The receipt of any Collections by Agent immediately shall be applied provisionally to reduce the Obligations outstanding under Section 2.1, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless
such Collection item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds and is made to the Agent’s Account or unless and until such Collection item is honored when presented for payment. Should any Collection item not be honored when
presented for payment, then Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such payment,

  

 49 








 
and interest shall be recalculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any Collection item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into the
Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. California time. If any Collection item is received into the Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. California time on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have
been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. 
 2.11.
Designated Account. Agent and the Lender Group are authorized to make the Advances and to issue the Letters of Credit under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person, or
without instructions if pursuant to Section 2.8(e). Borrowers agree to establish and maintain a single Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank (which at all times shall be Restricted Account) for the purpose of receiving the
proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrowers and made by the Lender Group hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrowers, any Advance requested by Borrowers and made by the Lender Group hereunder shall be made to the Designated
Account. 
 2.12. Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. At the request of Borrowers, to
facilitate and expedite the administration and accounting processes and procedures of their borrowings under this Agreement, Agent shall maintain a single account on its books in the names of Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) on which
Borrowers will be charged with all Advances made by the Lender Group to Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account, including, accrued interest, Lender Group Expenses, and any other payment Obligations of Borrowers. In accordance with
Section 2.10, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent from any Borrowers or for any Borrowers’ account. Agent shall render one statement regarding the Loan Account to Poolmart on behalf of Borrowers,
including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting the Lender Group Expenses owing, and such statements shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account
stated between Borrowers and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrowers, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements. Each Borrower hereby
expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent shall have no obligation to account separately to such Borrower. 
 2.13. Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent the following fees and charges, which fees and charges shall be non-refundable when paid (irrespective of whether this Agreement is terminated thereafter): 
 (a) Fee Letter. As and when due and payable under the terms of the Agent’s Fee Letter, Borrowers shall pay to
Agent the fees set forth in the Agent’s Fee Letter. 
 (b) Unused Line Fee. On the first day of each
calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement during which: (i) Average Quarterly Availability for the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or portion thereof during which this Agreement was in effect) was less than fifty percent (50%),
an unused line fee in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum

  

 50 








 
multiplied by the Average Quarterly Availability during such quarter, and (ii) Average Quarterly Availability for the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or portion thereof during which
this Agreement was in effect) was equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%), an unused line fee in an amount equal to seventy-five percent (0.75%) per annum multiplied by the Average Quarterly Availability during such quarter. 
 (c) Financial Examination and Appraisal Fees. For the separate account of Agent, Borrowers shall, to the extent
provided in Section 4.7 hereof, pay all reasonable audit fees plus out-of-pocket expenses, for each audit of the Collateral performed by or at the request of Agent (excluding, in any event, the cost of appraisal of Inventory), or the
actual reasonable charges paid or incurred by Agent if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons to perform financial audits of Borrowers (excluding, in any event, the cost of appraisal of Inventory). 
 2.14. Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any other provisions herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the following provisions
shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as to the matters covered: 
 (a) Borrowing; Conversion;
Continuation. Borrowers may from time to time, on or after the Restatement Date (and subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of Sections 3.1 and 3.2), request in a written or telephonic communication with Agent:
(i) Advances made up of Eurodollar Rate Loans; (ii) that Base Rate Loans be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans; or (iii) that existing Eurodollar Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Any such request shall specify
the aggregate amount of the requested Eurodollar Rate Loans, the proposed Funding Date therefor (which shall be a Business Day, and with respect to continued Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be the last day of the Interest Period of the existing
Eurodollar Rate Loans being continued), and the proposed Interest Period (in each case subject to the limitations set forth below). Eurodollar Rate Loans may only be made, continued, or extended if, as of the proposed Funding Date therefor, each of
the following conditions is satisfied: 
 (i) no Event of Default exists; 
 (ii) no more than five Interest Periods would be in effect at any one time; 
 (iii) the amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan borrowed, converted, or continued must be in an amount not less than $500,000
and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof; 
 (iv) Agent shall have determined that the Interest
Period or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is available to it and can be readily determined as of the date of the request for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by Borrowers; and 
 (v) Agent shall have received such request at least two Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date therefor.

 Any request by Borrowers to borrow Eurodollar Rate Loans, to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate
Loans, or to continue any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable, except to the extent that the Agent shall determine under Section 2.14(a), or as to any Lender that determines under Section 2.15, that such
Eurodollar Rate Loans cannot be made or continued. 
  

 51 








 (b) Determination of Interest Period. By giving notice as set forth
in Section 2.14(a), Borrowers shall select an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. The determination of the Interest Period shall be subject to the following provisions: 
 (i) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on
which the next preceding Interest Period expires; 
 (ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day
which is not a Business Day, the Interest Period shall be extended to expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if the next succeeding Business Day occurs in the following calendar month, then such Interest Period shall
expire on the immediately preceding Business Day; 
 (iii) if any Interest Period begins on the last Business
Day of a month, or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, then the Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest
Period; and 
 (iv) Borrowers may not select an Interest Period which expires later than the Maturity Date.

 (c) Automatic Conversion. Any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan upon
the last day of the applicable interest Period, unless Agent has received a request to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan at least two Business Days prior to the end of such Interest Period in accordance with the terms of
Section 2.14(a). 
 2.15. Illegality. Any other provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the obligation of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, continue Eurodollar Rate Loans as such, and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be
suspended and (b) such Lender’s then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or within such
earlier period as required by law; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not
be disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable discretion, in any legal, economic, or regulatory manner) to designate a different lending office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its lending office to continue to perform
its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Loans. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan occurs on a day

  

 52 








 
which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to
Section 2.17. If circumstances subsequently change so that such Lender shall determine that it is no longer so affected, such Lender will promptly notify Agent and Borrowers, and upon receipt of such notice, the obligations of such
Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be reinstated. 
 2.16. Requirements of Law. 
 (a) If the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from
any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date; 
 (i) shall subject such
Lender to any tax, levy, charge, fee, reduction, or withholding of any kind whatsoever with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for (x) the establishment of a
tax based on the net income of such Lender or changes in the rate of tax on the net income of such Lender and (y) United States withholding taxes in respect of payments made to any Lender that is organized under the law of any jurisdiction
other than the United States or a political subdivision thereof); 
 (ii) shall in respect of Eurodollar Rate
Loans impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, Advances or other extensions of credit by, or any other
acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender; or 
 (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition
with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an
amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing, or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or to increase the cost to such Lender in respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans, by an amount which such Lender deems to be
material, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to forego any other sum payable thereunder or make any payment on account thereof in respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, in any such case, if such
Lender is demanding payment of additional amounts in respect thereof by borrowers generally that are reasonably similarly situated with the Borrowers, Borrowers shall promptly pay to Agent (for the benefit of such Lender), upon such Lender’s
demand, any additional amounts necessary (without duplication of any other amounts paid by Borrowers with respect thereto or reserved by Agent pursuant to the definition of Adjusted Euro-dollar Rate) to compensate such Lender for such increased cost
or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be
disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable discretion, in any legal, economic, or

  

 53 








 
regulatory manner) to designate a different Eurodollar lending office if the making of such designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar lending office to continue to perform its
obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans and avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, such increased cost; provided, further, that the Lender shall not be entitled to demand
payment of any such amount that is attributable to any period prior to 60 days before such demand is made. If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Lender shall promptly notify
Agent and Borrowers of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 submitted in reasonable detail by such Lender to Agent and Borrowers shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Within five Business Days after a Lender notifies Borrowers and Agent of any increased cost pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16, Borrowers may convert all Eurodollar Rate
Loans then outstanding into Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.14 and, additionally, reimburse such Lender for any cost in accordance with Section 2.17. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder for nine months following such termination and repayment. 
 (b) If a Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority
made subsequent to the Restatement Date or compliance by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made
subsequent to the Restatement Date does or shall have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained or reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Person’s capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Person could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed
by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to Agent and Borrowers of a prompt written request therefor accompanied by a certified calculation in reasonable detail, Borrowers shall pay to Agent (for the
benefit of such Lender) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Person for such reduction. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable
hereunder for nine months following such termination and repayment. 
 2.17. Indemnity. Borrowers agree to
indemnify Agent and each Lender and to hold Agent and Lenders harmless from any loss or expense which Agent or any Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrowers in payment when due of the principal amount of or
interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) default by Borrowers in making a Borrowing of, conversion into, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans after Borrowers have given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (c) default by Borrowers in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan after Borrowers have given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (d) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Rate
Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (whether due to the termination of this Agreement, upon an Event of Default, or otherwise), including, in each case, any such loss or expense (but excluding loss of
margin or anticipated profits)

  

 54 








 
arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided, however, that Agent or any Lender, if
requesting indemnification, shall have delivered to the Borrowers a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Calculation of all amounts payable to any such Lender
under this Section 2.17 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded the relevant Eurodollar Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such
Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of the Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for
the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 2.17. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations hereunder. 
 2.18. Increase in Commitments. 
 (a) Request for Increase. The Borrowers may make a one time request by written notice to the Agent (which shall
promptly notify the Lenders and Issuing Bank) that the Maximum Commitment Amount be increased by an aggregate amount of up to $25,000,000 (the “Requested Increased Commitment Amount”). At the time of sending such notice, the
Borrowers (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than thirty days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Agent). 
 (b) WFRF Right of First Refusal. Upon such request to increase the Maximum Commitment Amount, WFRF shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to increase its Commitment by an amount equal to the lower of the Requested Increased Commitment Amount or an amount identified by WFRF in written notice to the Borrowers and Agent (it being understood that WFRF may or
may not elect to increase its Commitment in its sole discretion). WFRF shall make its election within ten (10) days after receipt of Borrowers’ notice under Section 2.18(a) by written notice to Borrowers through Agent. In the
event that WFRF does not so notify Borrowers on or before such tenth day, WFRF shall be deemed to have elected not to increase its Commitment. 
 (c) Additional Lenders. To achieve the full amount of any Requested Increased Commitment Amount, to the extent that WFRF declines to increase its Commitment, or declines to increase its Commitment
by the full Requested Increased Commitment Amount, Agent may arrange, with Borrowers’ consent, for any Affiliate of Bank of America or PNC Bank, National Association or other Eligible Assignees (each an “Additional Commitment
Lender”) to become a Lender hereunder and furnish a commitment equal to the Requested Increased Commitment Amount not accepted by WFRF, provided, however, that without the consent of the Agent, at no time shall the Commitment
of any Additional Commitment Lender be less than $10,000,000. The aggregate increased commitment amounts agreed to by WFRF and, if any, each Additional Commitment Lender shall constitute the “Increased Commitment Amount”.

  

 55 








 (d) Conditions to Effectiveness of Commitment Increase. As a
condition precedent to the increase of the Maximum Commitment Amount by the Increased Commitment Amount, (i) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of each Borrower dated as of the effective date of such increase (the
“Increase Effective Date”) signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the board of directors (or other applicable governing body) of such Borrower approving or
consenting to such increase in the Maximum Commitment Amount, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase in the Maximum Commitment Amount, the representations and warranties contained in Article 5 hereof and
the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent such representations or warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and
warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); (ii) if applicable, the Borrowers, the Agent, and any Additional Commitment Lender shall have executed and delivered a joinder to the Loan Documents in such
form as the Agent shall reasonably require; (iii) the Borrowers shall have paid the fees to Agent owing to the Agent under the Fee Letter, and any Increased Commitment Fee payable to the Additional Commitment Lenders (with the understanding
that, whether or not WFRF is an Additional Commitment Lender it shall be entitled to receive for its own account a fee equal to the highest fee payable to any Additional Commitment Lender), as the Borrowers, the Agent, and the Additional Commitment
Lenders may agree; and (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or result from the increase to the Maximum Commitment Amount. The Borrowers shall prepay any Advances outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional
amounts required pursuant to this Agreement) and may borrow on a non-ratable basis from any Lender or Additional Commitment Lender committed to a portion of the applicable Increased Commitment Amount, in each case to the extent necessary to keep the
outstanding Advances ratable with any revised Pro Rata Share arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Agent may take any and all further action as may be reasonably
necessary to ensure that all Advances in respect of Commitment Increases, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Advances on a pro rata basis. 
 (e) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Commitments are hereafter increased, the Agent (in consultation with the
Borrowers) shall determine the Increase Effective Date of the Increased Commitment Amount and the final allocation thereof among the Additional Commitment Lenders. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such final
allocation and the Increase Effective Date, and on the Increase Effective Date (i) the Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of the Increased Commitment Amount, and (ii) the
applicable Schedule to the Agreement shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised Commitments of the Lenders. 
  

 56

 (a) the

Default. 
 3.4. Effect of Termination. On the date of termination of this Agreement, all Obligations

 59 








 3.6. Termination Upon Event of Default. If the Lender Group
terminates this Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default which Agent has reasonably determined to be been caused intentionally by a Borrower, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of
ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the Lender Group’s lost profits as a result thereof, Borrowers shall pay to Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lender Group) upon the
effective date of such termination, a fee in an amount equal the Early Termination Fee. Such amount shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by the Lender Group as the result of the early termination and Borrowers agree that it is
reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The fee provided for in this Section 3.6, shall be deemed included in the Obligations. 
 4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. 
 4.1. Grant of
Security Interest. Each Borrower confirms that it has granted and, for the avoidance of doubt, hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and any Bank Product Provider to whom any Borrower owes Bank Product Obligations, a
continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in all currently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all Secured Obligations and in order to secure prompt
performance by such Borrower of each of its covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. The security interests granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and any Bank Product Provider, in the Collateral shall attach to all
Collateral without further act on the part of the Agent, Lender Group or Borrowers. 
 4.2. Control of
Collateral. If from time to time any Collateral, having a value of $250,000 or more, as determined by Agent, including proceeds or supporting obligations, consists of property or rights of a Borrower in which the perfection or priority of the
Agent’s Liens is dependent upon or enhanced by Agent’s gaining control of such Collateral, Borrowers shall immediately notify Agent and, at Agent’s request, deliver the appropriate Restricted Account Control Agreements or take such
actions as may be necessary to give Agent control over such Collateral as provided in the Code; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to deliver Restricted Account Control Agreements for any DDAs maintained and administered in
compliance with Section 2.9 hereof. 
 4.3. Negotiable Collateral. In the event that any
Collateral, including proceeds, of value in excess of $250,000 is evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral, Borrowers, immediately upon the request of Agent, shall endorse and deliver physical possession of such Negotiable Collateral to
Agent.

 4.4. Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles, and Negotiable
Collateral. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent or Agent’s designee may (a) notify customers or Account Debtors of any Borrower that the Accounts, General Intangibles, or
Negotiable Collateral of such Borrower have been assigned to Agent for the benefit of the Lender Group or that Agent for the benefit of the Lender Group has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles, and
Negotiable Collateral of such Borrower directly and charge the collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Borrower agrees that it will hold in trust for the Lender
Group, as the Lender Group’s trustee, any Collections that it receives and immediately will deliver said Collections to Agent in their original form as received by such Borrower. 
 4.5. Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. At any time upon the request of Agent, Borrowers shall execute and
deliver to Agent all continuation financing statements, fixture filings, security agreements, pledges, assignments, control agreements, affidavits, reports, notices, schedules of accounts, letters of authority, and bailee acknowledgments, each in
form and substance satisfactory to Agent and hereby authorizes Agent to file any financing statements, amendments to financing statements, continuation to financing statements as deemed necessary or desirable by Agent and, after the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, endorsements of certificates of title, applications for title, and, in any event (whether prior to or after the occurrence of an Event of Default), all other documents that Agent reasonably may
request, each in form satisfactory to Agent, to perfect and continue perfected the Liens of the Lender Group (and their applicable Affiliates) in the Collateral, and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby and under
the other Loan Documents. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower authorizes Agent to execute any such documents in such Borrower’s name and authorizes the Agent to file such documents in any appropriate filing office.
Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall (a) give the Agent prompt written notice of any Commercial Tort Claim of Borrowers not specifically identified on Schedule 5.10(b) and any Letter of Credit Right of Borrowers. Borrowers
shall grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group (and their applicable Affiliates), a security interest in any such Commercial Tort Claim or Letter of Credit Right and the proceeds thereof, and (b) on such periodic basis as the
Agent shall require, (i) provide Agent with a report of all new patents, registered copyrights, registered trademarks and licenses with respect to any of the foregoing (ii) cause to be prepared, executed, and delivered to Agent
supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents to identify such patents, registered copyrights and registered trademarks as being subject to the security interests created thereunder, and (iii) execute and deliver to Agent at
Agent’s request supplemental intellectual property security agreements with respect to such patents, registered trademarks or registered copyrights for filing with the appropriate filing office. 
 4.6. Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and appoints Agent (and any of
Agent’s officers, employees, or agents designated by Agent) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney, with power to (a) if such Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to execute and deliver any of the documents described

  

 61 








 
in Section 4.5, sign the name of such Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.5, (b) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is

Default has occurred and is continuing, notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Borrower’s mail to an address designated by Agent, to receive and open all mail addressed to such Borrower, and to retain all

insurance and make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, and (g) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the Accounts, Chattel
Paper or General Intangibles of such Borrower directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and upon terms that Agent determines to be reasonable, and Agent may cause to be executed and delivered any documents and releases that Agent determines to be
necessary. The appointment of Agent as such Borrower’s attorney, and each and every one of Agent’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully and finally repaid and
performed and the Lender Group’s obligation to extend credit hereunder is terminated. 
 4.7. Right to
Inspect. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, (i) upon reasonable notice to the Borrowers, to inspect Borrowers’ Books and to
conduct an audit and (ii) to conduct an appraisal and inventory of the Collateral in order to verify Borrowers’ financial condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of or any other matter relating to, the Collateral at Agent’s
discretion (upon reasonable notice to the Borrowers). Following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right to (i) conduct audits at Agent’s
discretion and (ii) conduct appraisals and inventory of the Collateral at Agent’s discretion in order to verify Borrowers’ financial condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of or any other matter relating to, the
Collateral. The Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with the Agent or its designees in the conduct of such inventories, appraisals and audits.

time made, it being recognized by the Agent and the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected
results and that such differences may be material. 
 5.24. Insurance. Schedule 5.24 annexed
hereto, is a schedule of all insurance policies owned by the Borrowers or under which any Borrower is the named insured. Each of such policies is in full force and effect. The coverage reflected on Schedule 5.24 satisfies the requirements of
Section 6.10. 
 5.25. Requirements of Law. To each Borrower’s knowledge, each Borrower
is in compliance with, and shall hereafter comply with and use its assets in compliance with, all requirements of law except where the failure of such compliance will not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Change. No Borrower has
received any notice of any violation of any requirement of law (other than of a violation which would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Change) which violation has not been cured or otherwise remedied.

 (d) Such Borrower shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required to be maintained under this Section 6.10, unless Agent is included thereon as named insured with the loss payable to Agent (for the ratable benefit of Lenders) under a standard California 438BFU (NS) Mortgagee endorsement, or
its local equivalent. Such Borrower immediately shall notify Agent whenever such separate insurance is taken out, specifying the insurer thereunder and full particulars as to the policies evidencing the same, and originals of such policies
immediately shall be provided to Agent.

or for Agent, and, to the extent permitted under the Code, enforce the obligations of Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on the Collateral and exercise the rights of Borrowers with respect to such obligations

  

 85 








 
and any property that may secure such obligations and settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Agent considers advisable, and in such

necessary or reasonable to protect its security interests in the Collateral. Borrowers agree to assemble the Collateral if Agent so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Agent as Agent may designate. Each Borrower authorizes Agent to
enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or Lien that in Agent’s determination appears to
conflict with the Liens of Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Group) in the Collateral and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrowers’ owned or leased premises, each Borrower hereby grants Agent a
license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up to 120 days in order to exercise any of the Lender Group’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; 
 (h) Without notice to any Borrower (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting a retention of any

sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable license or other right to use, apply, and/or affix, without charge, any Borrowers’ labels, patents, copyrights, rights
of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral
and each Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Lender Group’s benefit; 
 (m) Sell, or cause to be sold, the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places

 (n) Agent shall give notice of the disposition of the Collateral as follows: 
 (1) Agent shall give Borrowers a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or
some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Collateral, then the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; 
 (2) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrowers as provided in Section 12,
at least five days before the date fixed for the sale, or at least five days before the date on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Collateral
that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Notice to Persons other than Borrowers claiming an interest in the Collateral shall be sent to such addresses as they have
furnished to Agent; 
 (3) If the sale is to be a public sale, Agent also shall give notice of the time and place
by publishing a notice one time at least five days before the date of the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the sale is to be held; 
 (4) Borrowers agree that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to the Borrowers which are imposed
under the Code or other applicable law with respect to the exercise of the Agent’s rights and remedies upon default. 
 (o) Agent may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; 
 (p)

default, may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by the Borrowers. The Agent’s and
any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Agent’s or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale
of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Agent’s or such agent or contractor and none of the Lenders,
Borrowers nor any Person claiming under or in right of the Borrowers shall have any interest therein; 
 (t)
Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Agent shall provide the Borrowers with such notice as may be practicable under the
circumstances), the Agent shall give the Borrowers at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date, time, and place of any proposed public sale, and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be
made. The Borrowers agree that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to the Borrowers which are imposed under the Code or other applicable law with respect to the exercise of the Agent’s rights and remedies upon default;

 (u) In connection with the Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement, the Agent may enter upon,
occupy, and use any premises owned or occupied by the Borrowers, and may exclude the Borrowers from such premises or portion thereof as may have been so entered upon, occupied, or used by the Agent. The Agent shall not be required to remove any of
the Collateral from any such premises upon the Agent’s taking possession thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Borrowers. In no event shall the Agent be liable to the Borrowers for use or occupancy by the Agent of any premises
pursuant to this Agreement, nor for any charge (such as wages for the Borrowers’ employees and utilities) incurred in connection with the Agent’s exercise of the Agent’s rights and remedies; and 
 (v) The Borrowers hereby grant to the Agent a royalty free nonexclusive irrevocable license to use, apply, and affix any

any completion of the manufacture of Inventory or sale or other disposition of Inventory. 
 9.2.
Remedies Cumulative. The Lender Group’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative and may be exercised simultaneously. The Lender Group shall have all other rights
and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a
continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. 
  

 88 








 10. TAXES AND EXPENSES; WITHHOLDINGS. 
 10.1. Third Party Payments. If, after written request by Agent to a Borrower, such Borrower fails
to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of
payment or deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement, then, to the extent that Agent determines that such failure by such Borrower could result in a Material Adverse Change, in its discretion and without prior notice to such
Borrower, Agent may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves in Borrowers’ Loan Account as Agent deems necessary to protect the Lender Group from the exposure created
by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described in Section 6.10, and take any action with respect to such policies as Agent deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Agent shall constitute Lender
Group Expenses. Any such payments made by Agent shall not constitute an agreement by the Lender Group to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Agent need not inquire as to,
or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing. 
 10.2. Taxes. 
 (a) All payments required to be made by a Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes unless such deduction or
withholding is required by Applicable Law or the affected Lender has not made commercially reasonable efforts to minimize its exposure to any such Taxes. 
 (b) If any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld by Applicable Law from any amounts payable under the Loan Documents by a Borrower, (i) such Borrower shall promptly pay an additional amount
(“Additional Amount”) to the Agent or the applicable Lender as may be necessary so that after making all required Tax deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to all Taxes on, or arising by reason
of, the payment of Additional Amounts), the Agent or applicable Lender receives and retains, an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been required, (ii) such Borrower shall deduct or
withhold all Taxes (including Taxes on Additional Amounts) required to be withheld or deducted under Applicable Law from any payments made to the Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount of all Taxes deducted or withheld under this Section 10.2 to the relevant Governmental Authority on a timely basis, all in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 (c) The obligations of the Borrowers to pay Additional Amounts under this Section 10.2 shall not apply with
respect to “Excluded Taxes”, which shall mean (i) in relation to the Agent or any Lender any Taxes imposed on the net income or capital of the Agent or any Lender (however denominated) and franchise taxes imposed on the Agent or any
Lender (in lieu of net income taxes) by any Governmental Authority, and also Taxes that are branch

  

 89 








 
profits taxes or any similar tax imposed by any Governmental Authority, in each case as a result of the Agent or the Lender (1) carrying on a trade or business or having a permanent
establishment in any jurisdiction or political subdivision thereof, (2) being organized under the laws of such jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof, or (3) being or being deemed to be resident in such jurisdiction or political
subdivision thereof and (ii) any withholding Tax that (1) is imposed on amounts payable to any Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office) or (2) is attributable to such
Lender’s failure to comply with Section 17.10(a). 
 (d) The Borrowers shall, promptly following
receipt of a request from the Agent, pay to the Agent, on its behalf or on behalf of any Lender, any and all Taxes in the nature of sales, use, goods and services, and harmonized sales Taxes payable under the laws of the United States of America,
any State of the United States of America or any other country or jurisdiction with respect to any and all goods and services made available under the Loan Documents to any Borrower by the Agent and the Lenders. 
 (e) Whenever any Taxes are required to be paid by a Borrowers to a Governmental Authority under this
Section 10.2, the Borrower shall send or cause to be sent to the Agent, for the account of the Agent and each affected Lender, a certified copy of an original official receipt evidencing payment of such Taxes, or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes thereunder. 
 (f) If a Borrower fails to pay any Taxes under this Section 10.2 when due or if a Borrower fails to send to the Agent the required documentary evidence of the payment of Taxes pursuant to Section 10.2, the Borrowers
shall jointly and severally indemnify and save harmless the Agent and the Lenders from any Taxes, interest, penalties or other liabilities that may become payable by the Agent or by any Lender or to which the Agent or any Lender may be subjected to
as a result of any such failure. A certificate of the Agent or any applicable Lender as to the amount of any such Taxes, interest, penalties or other liabilities and containing reasonable details of the calculation of such Taxes, interest, penalties
or other liabilities shall be, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the amount of such Taxes, interest, penalties or other liabilities, as the case may be. The indemnification in this Section 10.2 shall be made within 30 days
after the date the Agent or any applicable Lender has submitted a certificate under this Section 10.2. 
 (g) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by a Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law
as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or
submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. 
  

 90 








 (h) If the Agent or any Lender determines, in its Permitted Discretion, that
it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.2, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 10.2 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to for the account of such
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph
shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. 
 (i) Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation contained in the Loan Documents, the obligations of a Borrower
under this Section 10.2 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment of all amounts payable to the Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents or with respect to the Loan Documents. 
 11. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION. 
 11.1. Demand; Protest; etc. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which such Borrower may in any way be liable. 
 11.2. The Lender Group’s Liability for Collateral. So long as the Lender Group complies with its
obligations, if any, under Section 9207 of the Code, the Lender Group shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any
manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person. All risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall
be borne by the Borrowers. 
 11.3. Indemnification. Borrowers shall pay, indemnify, defend,
and hold each Agent-Related Person, each Lender, each Participant, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and
against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection
therewith (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance, and administration (including any of the foregoing arising out of the administration of the credit facilities hereunder on a joint borrowing basis) of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated herein,
and with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any

  

 91 








 
other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event or circumstance
in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified
Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the
Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which a Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person
making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by such Borrower with respect thereto. Borrowers shall be subrogated to an Indemnified Person’s rights of recovery to the extent of any liabilities satisfied by the Borrowers and
such Indemnified Person shall execute and deliver such instruments and papers as are necessary to assign such rights and assist in the execution thereof; provided, however, that, and, notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, such subrogation
rights of Borrowers may not be exercised until payment in full of all Obligations due hereunder and the termination of the Commitments and shall be subordinate to the Obligations due Lender Group in all respects. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING
INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION (OTHER THAN GROSS NEGLIGENCE) OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER
PERSON. 
 11.4. Joint Borrowers. 
 (a) Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable to the Agent and the Lenders for
payment in full of all Secured Obligations, whether for principal, interest or otherwise and that such liability is independent of the duties, obligations, and liabilities of the other Borrowers. The Agent may bring a separate action or actions on
each, any, or all of the Obligations against any Borrower, whether action is brought against the other Borrowers or whether the other Borrowers are joined in such action. In the event that any Borrower fails to make any payment of any Secured
Obligations on or before the due date thereof, the other Borrowers immediately shall cause such payment to be made or each of such Secured Obligations to be performed, kept, observed, or fulfilled. 
 (b) The Loan Documents are a primary and original obligation of each Borrower, are not the creation of a surety relationship,
and are an absolute, unconditional, and continuing promise of payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity with
respect to the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that its liability -under the Loan Documents shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by Agent of whatever remedies it may have against the other Borrowers,
or the enforcement of any lien or realization upon any security Agent may at any time possess. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Agent shall be under no obligation (under Section 2899 or 3433 of the California Civil Code or otherwise) to
marshal any assets of any Borrower against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. 
  

 92 








 (c) Each Borrower acknowledges that it is presently informed as to the
financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby covenants that it will continue to keep informed as
to the financial condition of the other Borrowers, the status of the other Borrowers and of all circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Secured Obligations. Absent a written request from any Borrower to Agent for information,
such Borrower hereby waives any and all rights it may have to require Agent to disclose to such Borrower any information which Agent may now or hereafter acquire concerning the condition or circumstances of the other Borrowers. 
 (d) The liability of each Borrower under the Loan Documents includes Obligations arising under successive transactions
continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Obligations after prior Obligations
have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives any right to revoke its liability under the Loan Documents as to future indebtedness, and in connection therewith, each Borrower hereby
waives any rights it may have under Section 2815 of the California Civil Code. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) no such revocation shall be effective
until written notice thereof has been received by Agent, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Secured Obligations in existence on such date (including, any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest
rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Agent in existence on
the date of such revocation, (d) no payment by such Borrower or from any other source prior to the date of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of the other Borrowers hereunder, and (e) any payment by such Borrower or from
any source other than Borrowers, subsequent to the date of such revocation, shall first be applied to that portion of the Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guaranteed hereunder, and to the extent so
applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of each Borrower hereunder. 
 (e) (i) Each Borrower absolutely,
unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives (A) notice of acceptance hereof; (B) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Secured Obligations;
(C) notice of the amount of the Secured Obligations, subject, however, to each Borrower’s right to make inquiry of Agent to ascertain the amount of the Secured Obligations at any reasonable time; (D) notice of any adverse change in
the financial condition of the other Borrowers or of any other fact that might increase such Borrower’s risk hereunder, (E) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan
Documents; and (F) all notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to Borrowers hereunder or under the Loan Documents) and demands to which such Borrower might otherwise be entitled: 
  

 93 








 (ii) its right, under Sections 2845 or 2850 of the California Civil Code,
or otherwise, to require Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which Agent has or may have against, the other Borrowers or any third party, or against any Collateral provided by the
other Borrowers, or any third party. In this regard, each Borrower agrees that it is bound to the payment of all Secured Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter accruing, as fully as if such Obligations were directly owing to the Lender Group
by such Borrower. Each Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of the other Borrowers or
by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Borrowers in respect thereof. 
 (iii) (A) any rights to assert against Agent, any Lender, or any Bank Product Provider any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Borrower may now or at any time hereafter have against the other Borrowers
or any other party liable to Agent, any Lender, or any Bank Product Provider; (B) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency,
validity, or enforceability of the Secured Obligations or any security therefor, (C) any defense such Borrower has to performance hereunder, and any right such Borrower has to be exonerated, provided by Sections 2819, 2822, or 2825 of the
California Civil Code, or otherwise, arising by reason of the impairment or suspension of Agent’s rights or remedies against the other Borrowers; the alteration by Agent and Lenders of the Obligations; any discharge of the other Borrowers’
obligations to the Lender Group by operation of law as a result of Agent’s intervention or omission; or the acceptance by the Lender Group of anything in partial satisfaction of the Obligations; (D) the benefit of any statute of
limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the
operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Borrower’s liability hereunder. 
 (iv) Each
Borrower absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (i) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Agent including any defense based upon an election of
remedies by Agent under the provisions of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar law of California or any other jurisdiction; or (ii) any election by Agent under Bankruptcy Code
Section 1111(b) to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, the Lender Group’s claim against the Borrowers. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 2856(b); 
 (A) “Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though
that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Borrowers by the operation of
Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.” 
  

 94 








 (B) “Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such Borrower
may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things (i) Agent may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the other Borrower or any
third Person; (ii) if Agent forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the other Borrower or any third Person: (x) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the
foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (y) Agent may collect from such Borrower even if Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect
from the other Borrower or any third Person. 
 This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and
defenses each Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure.” 
 (v) If any of the Obligations at any time is secured by a mortgage or deed of trust upon
real property, Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, upon a default with respect to the Obligations, to foreclose such mortgage or deed of trust judicially or nonjudicially in any manner permitted by law, before or after enforcing the Loan
Documents, without diminishing or affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Obligations are repaid with the proceeds of such foreclosure. Each Borrower understands that (a) by virtue of the operation of
California’s antideficiency law applicable to nonjudicial foreclosures, an election by Agent nonjudicially to foreclose such a mortgage or deed of trust probably would have the effect of impairing or destroying rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Borrower against the other Borrowers or other guarantors or sureties, and (b) absent the waiver given by such Borrower, such an election would prevent Agent from enforcing the Loan Documents
against such Borrower. Understanding the foregoing, and understanding that such Borrower is hereby relinquishing a defense to the enforceability of the Loan Documents, such Borrower hereby waives any right to assert against Agent any defense to the
enforcement of the Loan Documents, whether denominated “estoppel” or otherwise, based on or arising from an election by Agent nonjudicially to foreclose any such mortgage or deed of trust. Each Borrower understands that the effect of the
foregoing waiver may be that each Borrower may have liability hereunder for amounts with respect to which such Borrower may be left without rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity against the other Borrower or other
guarantors or sureties. Each Borrower also agrees that the “fair market value” provisions of Section 580a of the California Code of Civil Procedure shall have no applicability with respect to the determination of such Borrower’s
liability under the Loan Documents. 
 (vi) Until such time as all Obligations have been fully, finally, and
indefeasibly paid in full, in cash, each Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly postpones: (1) any right of subrogation such Borrower has or

  

 95 








 
may have as against the other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations; (2) any right to proceed against the other Borrowers or any other Person, now or hereafter, for contribution,
indemnity, reimbursement, or any other suretyship rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, whether arising under express or implied contract or by operation of law, which such Borrower may now have or hereafter have
as against the other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations; and (3) any right to proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of the other Borrowers. 
 (vii) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 11.4, EACH
BORROWER HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, KNOWINGLY, UNCONDITIONALLY, AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY AND ALL BENEFITS OR DEFENSES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY UNDER ANY ONE OR MORE OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 2799, 2808, 2809, 2810,
2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2825, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, AND 2850, CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580c, 580d, AND 726, CALIFORNIA UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECTIONS 3116, 3118, 3119, 3419, 3605, 9610, 9612, 9615, 9624, 9625
AND 9627, AND CHAPTER 2 OF TITLE 14 OF PART 4 OF DIVISION 3 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. 
 (f) Each Borrower
consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such Borrower, and without affecting or impairing the liability of such Borrower hereunder, Agent may, by action or inaction: 
 (i) compromise, settle, extend the duration or the time for the payment of, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse
to or otherwise not enforce the Loan Documents, or any part thereof, with respect to the other Borrowers; 
 (ii) release the other Borrowers or grant other indulgences to the other Borrowers in respect thereof; or 
 (iii) release or substitute any guarantor, if any, of the Obligations, or enforce, exchange, release, or waive any security for the Obligations or any guaranty of the Obligations, or any portion thereof. 
 (g) Agent shall have the right to seek recourse against each Borrower to the fullest extent provided for herein, and no
election by Agent to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless Agent
has expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Agent under the Loan Documents shall serve to diminish the liability of any Borrower thereunder except to the
extent that Agent finally and unconditionally shall have realized indefeasible payment by such action or proceeding. 
  

 96 








 (h) The Obligations shall not be considered indefeasibly paid for purposes
of this Section 11.4 unless and until all payments to Agent are no longer subject to any right on the part of any Person, including any Borrower, any Borrower as a debtor in possession, or any trustee (whether appointed pursuant to 11
U.S.C., or otherwise) of any Borrower’s assets to invalidate or set aside such payments or to seek to recoup the amount of such payments or any portion thereof, or to declare same to be fraudulent or preferential. Upon such full and final
performance and indefeasible payment of the Obligations, Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to transfer or assign its interest in the Loan Documents to any Borrower. In the event that, for any reason, any portion of such payments to Agent is
set aside or restored, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, after the making thereof, then the obligation intended to be satisfied thereby shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made, and
each Borrower shall be liable for the full amount Agent is required to repay plus any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and attorneys’ fees incurred pursuant to 11 U.S.C.) paid by Agent in connection therewith.

 (i) Each Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made after
consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which a Borrower
otherwise may have against the other Borrower, the Lender Group or others, or against Collateral. If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be
effective to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
 11.5. Costs and Expenses of Agent and Lenders.

 (a) The Borrowers shall pay from time to time on demand all costs of collection, Lender Expenses and all
reasonable costs, expenses, and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which are incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration and delivery of this Agreement and of any
other Loan Documents, and all other reasonable costs, expenses, and disbursements which may be incurred in connection with or in respect to the credit facility contemplated hereby or which otherwise are incurred with respect to the Obligations.

 (b) The Borrowers shall pay from time to time on demand all Lender Expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ and solicitors’ fees and reasonable attorneys’ and solicitors’ expenses) incurred, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, by the Lenders or Agent. 
 (c) Each Borrower authorizes the Agent to pay all such fees and expenses, and in the Agent’s discretion, to add such
fees and expenses to the Loan Account. 
 (d) The undertaking on the part of each Borrower in this
Section 11.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and/or any termination, release, or discharge executed by any Agent in favor of any Borrower, other than a termination, release, or discharge which makes specific reference to this
Section 11.5.

 15. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS. 
 15.1. Assignments and Participations. 
 (a) Any Lender may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 15, assign and delegate to one or more
Eligible Transferees or, with the prior written consent of Agent, Issuing Bank, and Borrowers (provided, however, that Borrowers’ consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), any other Person (each an
“Assignee”) all, or any ratable part, of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, which assignment shall
not become effective until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to Borrowers and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee;
(ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to Borrowers and Agent a fully executed Assignment and Acceptance (“Assignment and Acceptance”) in the form of Exhibit A-1; and (iii) the assignor Lender or
Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s sole and separate account a processing fee in the amount of $5,000. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the consent of Agent shall not be required (and payment of any fees shall not
be required) if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of such Lender. 
 (b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received a fully executed Assignment and
Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto). 
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (1) other than as provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties, or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (2) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of Borrowers or any guarantor or the performance or observance by Borrowers or any guarantor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (3) such
Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (4) such
Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement; (5) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (6) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

  

 100 








 (d) Immediately upon each Assignee’s making its processing fee payment
under the Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments of the Assignor and Assignee
arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitment of the assigning Lender pro tanto. 
 (e) Any Lender may at any time, with the written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, sell to one or more Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests
in the Obligations, the Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the
Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Originating Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the
Participant has any right to approve or consent to, or vote with respect to, any amendment to, or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this
Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such participant is participating; (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such
Participant is participating; (C) release all or a material portion of the Collateral (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is
participating; (D) postpone the payment of or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees hereunder in which such Participant is participating; or (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or fees
in respect of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating; and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Originating Lender had not sold such participation. The rights of any
Participant shall only be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrowers, the Collections, the Collateral, or otherwise in
respect of the Advances or the Letters of Credit. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves. 
 (f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation, a Lender may disclose to
the proposed assignee or participant all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrowers or Borrowers’ business if such Person has agreed to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security
interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve
Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. 
  

 101 








 15.2. Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment
shall be absolutely void. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder pursuant to Section 15.1 and, except as expressly
required pursuant to Section 15.1, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment. 
 16. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. 
 16.1. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written
request of the Required Lenders) and Borrowers and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders and Borrowers and acknowledged by Agent, do any of the following: 
 (a) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender; 
 (b) postpone or delay any date fixed by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document; 
 (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document; 
 (d) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of the Advances which is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; 
 (e) amend this Section or any provision of the Agreement providing for consent or other action by all Lenders; 
 (f) release Collateral other than as permitted by Section 17.11; 
 (g) change the
definition of “Required Lenders”; 
 (h) release Borrowers from any Obligation for the payment of
money; or 
 (i) amend any of the provisions of Article 17. 
  

 102 








 and, provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of Agent or
Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless in writing and signed by Agent or Issuing Bank, as applicable; and, provided further, that the limitation contained in clause (d) above shall not be deemed to limit the ability
of Agent to make Advances or Agent Loans, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.1(i), 2.1(j), or 2.1(k). The foregoing notwithstanding, any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or
release of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrowers, shall not require
consent by or the agreement of Borrowers. 
 16.2. No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or
any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any present or future supplement hereto or thereto, or in any other agreement between or among Borrowers and Agent and/or any Lender, or delay by
Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or the Lenders on any
occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which Agent or any Lender may have. 
 16.3. Replacement of Holdout Lender. If any action to be taken by the Lenders or Agent hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders, and a Lender (“Holdout Lender”) fails to
give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Lenders (each, a “Replacement
Lender”), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days
after the date such notice is given. Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid
its share of the outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any
such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made
in accordance with the terms of Section 15.1. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Advances and to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation
Liability of such Letter of Credit. 
  

 103 








 17. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP. 
 17.1. Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Affiliate which is a
Bank Product Provider) hereby designates and appoints WFRF as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Affiliate which is a Bank Product Provider) hereby irrevocably
authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article 17. The provisions of this Article 17 are solely for the benefit of Agent
and the Lenders, and Borrowers shall not have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 17.10, 17.11, and 17.16(d) also shall be for the
benefit of Borrowers. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent
have or be deemed to have any fiduciary or other non-contractual relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against Agent. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from
taking any actions which Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including making the determinations contemplated by Section 2.1(b). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain,
in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Advances, the Collateral, the Collections, and related matters; (b) execute and/or file any and all financing or similar statements or
notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim for Lenders, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents; (c) make Advances for itself or on behalf of Lenders as provided in the
Loan Documents; (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections as provided in the Loan Documents; (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and lock boxes as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan
Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections; (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrowers, the Advances, the Collateral, the
Collections, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents; (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant
to the Loan Documents; and (h) incur the Agent’s Cover. 
 17.2. Delegation of Duties. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section, Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees, or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel

  

 104 








 
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was
made in compliance with this Section and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing notwithstanding, Agent shall not make any material delegation of duties to subagents or non-employee delegees without the prior written consent of
Required Lenders (it being understood that routine delegation of such administrative matters as filing financing statements, or conducting appraisals or audits, is not viewed as a material delegation that requires prior Required Lender approval).

 17.3. Liability of Agent-Related Persons. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or, (ii) be
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other
Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any
obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any
Borrower, or any of such Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Agent may employ attorneys, accountants, and other professionals and agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such
attorneys, accountants, and other professionals or agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Agent with reasonable care. No such attorney, accountant, other professional, agent, or attorney-in-fact shall be responsible for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by any other such Person. Neither Agent, nor any of its directors, officers, or employees shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken or omitted to be taken by any other of them in connection herewith in
reliance upon advice of counsel nor, in any other event except for any action taken or omitted to be taken as to which a final judicial determination has been or is made (in a proceeding in which such Person has had an opportunity to be heard) that
such Person had acted in a grossly negligent manner, in actual bad faith, or in willful misconduct. Agent shall not have any responsibility in any event for more funds than that Agent actually receives and collects. 
 17.4. Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper
Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants, and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take
any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it

  

 105 








 
shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it
deems advisable so long as it is not grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by
it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the
Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 
 17.5. Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of Agent or the Lenders, except with respect to Defaults and Events of Default
of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”
Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has, or is deemed to have, actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly
shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 17.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that: 
 (a) At all
times, Agent may propose and, with the consent of Required Lenders (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall be deemed to have been given by a Lender unless such Lender has notified Agent to the contrary in writing within three
Business Days of notification of such proposed actions by Agent) exercise, any remedies on behalf of the Lender Group; and 
 (b) At all times, once Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, have approved the exercise of a particular remedy or pursuit of a course of action, Agent may, but shall not be obligated to,
make all administrative decisions in connection therewith or take all other actions reasonably incidental thereto (for example, if the Required Lenders approve the foreclosure of certain Collateral, Agent shall not be required to seek consent for
the administrative aspects of conducting such sale or handling of such Collateral). 
 17.6. Credit
Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other

  

 106 








 
condition, and creditworthiness of Borrowers and any other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals, and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness of Borrowers, and any other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to a Loan Document. Except for notices,
reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition, or creditworthiness of Borrowers, and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. 
 17.7. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent deems
reasonably necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to any requirements of the Loan
Documents that it obtain any applicable consents or engage in any required consultation, court costs, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, costs of collection by outside collection agencies and auctioneer fees and costs of security guards or
insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to the Loan Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient
amounts from Collections to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses from Collections, each Lender hereby agrees
that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or reimburse Agent for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the
Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or
referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section 17.7 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement
of Agent. 
  

 107 








 17.8. Agent in Individual Capacity. WFRF and its Affiliates may make
loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests, in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though WFRF were not Agent hereunder without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, WFRF and its Affiliates may receive
information regarding Borrowers or its Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the
Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall be under no obligation to provide
such information to them. With respect to the Agent Loans and Agent Protective Advances, WFRF shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the terms
“Lender” and “Lenders” include WFRF in its individual capacity. 
 17.9. Successor
Agent. Agent may resign as Agent following notice of such resignation (“Notice”) to the Lenders and Borrowers, and effective upon the appointment of and acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Agent. If Agent resigns
under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint any Lender or Eligible Transferee as successor Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed within 30 days of such retiring Agent’s Notice, Agent may appoint a successor
Agent, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrowers. In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the
term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this
Section 16.3 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. 
 17.10. Withholding Tax. 
 (a) If any Lender is a
“foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the IRC and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 871, 881, 1441 or 1442 of the IRC, such Lender agrees with and in favor
of Agent and Borrowers, to deliver to Agent and Borrowers, whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i)
properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, 
 (ii) properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, 
  

 108 








 (iii) in the event the Lender is claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate, in form reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, to the effect that the Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
IRC, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC and
(y) properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 
 (iv) any other form prescribed
by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding Tax properly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 Such Lender agrees to promptly notify Agent and Borrowers of any
change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 
 (b) If any
Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form 4224 with Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender, such Lender agrees to
undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the IRC. 
 (c) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding Tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax after
taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other
documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax. 
 (d) If the IRS or any other Governmental
Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent or Borrowers did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly
executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent and Borrowers of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify Agent and
Borrowers fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent or Borrowers as Tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent or Borrowers under this
Section, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation of Agent. 
 17.11. Collateral Matters. 
 (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the
Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all Obligations; and upon such termination and payment Agent shall deliver to Borrowers, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, all UCC termination statements and any other
documents necessary to terminate the Loan Documents and release the Liens with respect to the

  

 109 








 
Collateral; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrowers certify to Agent that the sale or disposition
is permitted under Section 7.4 of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which Borrowers owned no interest at the
time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to Borrowers under a lease that has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, Agent will not
release any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Lenders; provided, however, that Agent may, in its discretion, without prior authorization of Lenders, release any Lien on Collateral where the value of such
Collateral released at any one time is not in excess of $100,000 and the value of all such Collateral released in any calendar year is not in excess of $250,000. Upon request by Agent or Borrowers at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing
Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 17.11; provided, however, that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such
release on terms that, in Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (ii) such
release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released), upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by Borrowers, including, the proceeds of
any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. 
 (b) Agent shall have no obligation
whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrowers, is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Liens of the Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Group) have been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of
the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein. 
 17.12.
Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments. 
 (a) Agent, in its reasonable discretion based
upon its determination of the likelihood that additional payments will be received, expenses incurred, and/or claims made by third parties to all or a portion of such proceeds, may delay the distribution of any payment received on account of the
Secured Obligations. 
 (b) Agent may disburse funds prior to determining that the sums that Agent expects to
receive have been finally and unconditionally paid to that Agent. If and to the extent that Agent does disburse funds and it later becomes apparent that the Agent did not then receive a payment in an amount equal to the sum paid out, then any Lender
to whom the Agent made the funds available, on demand from the Agent, shall refund to the Agent the sum paid to that Person. 
  

 110 








 (c) If, in the opinion of the Agent, the distribution of any amount received
by Agent might involve Agent in liability, or might be prohibited hereby, or might be questioned by any Person, then Agent may refrain from making distribution until Agent’s right to make distribution has been adjudicated by a court of
competent jurisdiction. 
 (d) Each Lender recognizes that the crediting the Borrowers with the
“proceeds” of any transaction in which a Post Foreclosure Asset is acquired is a non-cash transaction and that, in consequence, no distribution of such “proceeds” will be made by the Agent to any Lender. 
 (e) In the event that (x) a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by
the Agent is required to be repaid or disgorged or (y) those Lenders adversely affected thereby determine to effect such repayment or disgorgement, then each Lender to which any such distribution shall have been made shall repay, to the Agent
which had made such distribution, that Lender’s Pro-Rata share of the amount so adjudged or determined to be repaid or disgorged. 
 (f) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, absent the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, and that it shall, to the extent that it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of
the Agent, set off against the Obligations any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrowers or any accounts of Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested
to do so by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral the purpose of which is, or
could be, to give such Lender any preference or priority against the other Lenders with respect to the Collateral. 
 (g) Subject to Section 17.8, if at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations of Borrowers to
such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender shall promptly (1) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in same day funds, as
applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in
the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the
purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but
without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment. 
  

 111 








 17.13. Agency for Perfection. Agent and each Lender hereby appoints
each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Liens of the Lender Group in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral, such
Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions. 
 17.14. Payments by Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire
transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the instructions set forth on Schedule C-1, or pursuant to such other wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent.
Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, fee or interest on revolving advances or otherwise. 
 17.15. Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group (and any of their
Affiliates which are Bank Product Providers) authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral, for the ratable benefit (subject to Section 4.1) of the Lender Group. Each
member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent, Required Lenders, or all Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent,
Required Lenders, or all Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 
 17.16. Field Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information.
By signing this Agreement, each Lender, 
 (a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender,
promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports;

 (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent (i) does not make any representation or warranty as to
the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; 
 (c)
expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrowers and will rely significantly
upon Borrowers’ Books and records, as well as on representations of Borrowers’ personnel; 
  

 112 








 (d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material information obtained by it
pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with its reasonable customary procedures for handling confidential information; it being understood and agreed by Borrower that in any event such Lender may make disclosures
(i) reasonably required by any bona fide potential or actual Assignee, transferee, or Participant in connection with any contemplated or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of an interest herein or any participation interest in such
Lender’s rights hereunder, (ii) of information that has become public by disclosures made by Persons other than such Lender, its Affiliates, assignees, transferees, or participants, or (iii) as required or requested by any court,
governmental or administrative agency, pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, or by any law, statute, regulation, or court order; provided, however, that, unless prohibited by applicable law, statute, regulation, or court order, such
Lender shall notify Borrowers of any request by any court, governmental or administrative agency, or pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process for disclosure of any such non-public material information concurrent with, or where practicable,
prior to the disclosure thereof, and 
 (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification
provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (1) to hold Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in
connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers;
and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including, attorney costs)
incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
 In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy
of any report or document provided by Borrowers to Agent, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent shall provide a copy of same to such Lender promptly upon receipt thereof; (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the
Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from Borrowers, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall
request of Borrowers the additional reports or information specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender; and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrowers a statement regarding
the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender. 
 17.17. Several Obligations; No
Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of
Agent (if any) to make any Advances shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such Advances not to exceed, in principal
amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of the business, assets, profits,
losses, or liabilities

  

 113 








 
of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no
Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 17.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group.
No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make Advances, nor to advance for it or on its behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on
its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein. 
 17.18. Distributions.

 (a) On such day as may be set from time to time by the Agent, not less frequently than weekly (or more
frequently at the Agent’s option) the Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank shall settle up on amounts advanced under this Agreement and collected funds received in a Restricted Account. 
 (b) The Agent shall distribute to each Lender and the Issuing Bank, such Person’s respective Pro-Rata Share of payments
of principal, interest and fees on the Obligations when actually received and collected by the Agent. For purposes of calculating interest due to a Lender, that Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on the actual amount contributed by that
Lender towards the principal balance of the Obligations outstanding during the applicable period covered by the interest payment made by the Borrowers. Any net principal reductions to the Obligations received by the Agent in accordance with the Loan
Documents during such period shall not reduce such actual amount so contributed, for purposes of calculation of interest due to that Lender (but will reduce the principal amount for purposes of calculation of interest due from the Borrowers), until
the Agent has distributed to that Lender its Pro-Rata Share thereof. 
 (c) The Agent shall distribute fees paid
by Borrowers hereunder for the account of Lenders to each Lender (other than Deteriorating Lenders) based upon such Lender’s Pro Rata Share when actually received and collected by the Agent. No Lender shall be entitled to any fees payable to
Agent under the Fee Letter. 
 (d) Any amount received by the Agent as reimbursement for any cost or expense
(including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be distributed by the Agent to that Person which is entitled to such reimbursement as provided in this Agreement (and if such Person(s) is (are) the Lenders, based on the
Lender’s Pro Rata Shares at the date on which the expense, in respect of which such reimbursement is being made, was incurred). 
 17.19. Agent’s Covering of Fundings 
 (a) Each Lender
shall make available to the Agent, as provided herein, that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the following: 
 (i) Each Advance, up to the maximum amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share. 
  

 114 








 (ii) Up to the maximum amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each
L/C Disbursement (to the extent that such L/C Disbursement is not “covered” by an Advance as provided herein). 
 (b) In all circumstances, the Agent may: 
 (i) Assume that each
Lender timely shall make available to the Agent that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Advance, notice of which is provided pursuant to Section 12 and shall make available, to the extent not “covered” by an Advance, that
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any honoring of a Letter of Credit. 
 (ii) In reliance upon such assumption,
make available the corresponding amount to the Borrowers. 
 (iii) Assume that each Lender timely shall pay, and
shall make available, to the Agent all other amounts which that Lender is obligated to so pay and/or make available hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. 
 (c) In the event that, in reliance upon any of such assumptions, the Agent makes available, a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
one or more Advances, or any other amount to be made available hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, which amount a Lender fails to provide to the Agent within one (1) Business Day of written notice of such failure, then: 
 (i) The amount which had been made available by the Agent is an “Agent’s Cover” (and is so referred to
herein). 
 (ii) All interest paid by the Borrowers on account of the Advances or coverage of the subject L/C
Disbursement which consist of the Agent’s Cover shall be retained by the Agent and applied by Agent to Agent’s Cover until the Agent’s Cover, with interest, has been paid. 
 (iii) The Defaulting Lender shall pay to the Agent, on demand, interest at a rate equal to the prevailing federal funds rate
on any Agent’s Cover in respect of that Defaulting Lender. 
 (iv) The Agent shall have succeeded to all
rights to payment to which the Defaulting Lender otherwise would have been entitled hereunder in respect of those amounts paid by or in respect of the Borrowers on account of the Agent’s Cover together with interest until it is repaid. Such
payments shall be deemed made first towards the amounts in respect of which the Agent’s Cover was provided and only then towards amounts in which the Defaulting Lender is then participating. For purposes of distributions to be made hereunder,
amounts shall be deemed distributable to a Defaulting Lender (and consequently, to the Agent to the extent to which the Agent is then entitled) at the highest level of distribution (if applicable) at which the Defaulting Lender would otherwise have
been entitled to a distribution. 
  

 115 








 (v) Subject to Section 17.18 and except as otherwise provided
herein, the Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any payments from the Borrowers to which the Defaulting Lender is then entitled, provided however there shall be deducted from such amount and retained by the Agent any interest to which the
Agent is then entitled on account of Section17.18 above. 
 (d) A Defaulting Lender shall not be relieved
of any obligation of such and except as otherwise provided herein Lender hereunder (all and each of which shall constitute continuing obligations on the part of any Defaulting Lender). 
 (e) A Defaulting Lender may cure its status as a Defaulting Lender by paying the Agent the aggregate of the following:

 (i) The Agent’s Cover (to the extent not previously repaid by the Borrowers and retained by the Agent in
accordance with Section 17.18 above) with respect to that Defaulting Lender. 
 Plus 
 (ii) The aggregate of the amount payable under Section 17.18 above (which relates to interest to be paid by that
Defaulting Lender). 
 Plus 
 (iii) All such costs and expenses as may be incurred by the Agent in the enforcement of the Agent’s rights against such
Defaulting Lender. 
 17.20. Bank Product Obligations. 
 Each Lender agrees to furnish the Agent at such frequency as the Agent may reasonably request with a summary of all Bank
Products provided by, and amounts due to become due on account thereof to, such Lender or its Affiliates. In connection with any distributions to be made hereunder, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that no amounts are due to any Bank Product
Provider on account of any such Bank Products unless the Agent has received such written notice thereof. 
 18. ACCELERATION
AND LIQUIDATION. 
 18.1. Acceleration Notice. 
 (a) The Agent may give the Lenders an Acceleration Notice at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default. 
 (b) The Required Lenders may give the Agent an Acceleration Notice at any time following
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. Such notice may be by multiple counterparts, provided that counterparts executed by the requisite Lenders are received by the Agent within a period of five (5) consecutive
Business Days.

Lenders, in compliance with Section 18.1(b). 
 18.3. Actions At and Following Initiation of
Liquidation. At the initiation of a Liquidation:

 (b) Each Lender shall contribute, towards any Letter of Credit thereafter honored and not immediately reimbursed by the Borrowers, that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such honoring. 
 18.4. Agent’s Conduct of Liquidation. 
 (a) Any Liquidation, including, without limitation, the exercise of any rights of set off or offset, shall be conducted
solely by the Agent (or any of the Lenders solely if so directed by Agent), with the advice and assistance of the Lenders. 
 (b) The Agent may establish one or more nominees (a “Nominee”) to “bid in” or otherwise acquire ownership to any Post Foreclosure Asset. 
 (c) The Agent shall manage the Nominee and manage and dispose of any Post Foreclosure Assets with a view towards the

Agent determines as appropriate under the circumstances. 
 (d) Agent may decline to undertake or to continue
taking a course of action or to execute an action plan (whether proposed by a Lender or Agent) unless indemnified to Agent’s satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by Agent by reason of
taking or continuing to take that course of action or action plan if such action was taken in the absence of gross negligence, actual bad faith, or willful misconduct. 
 (e) The Agent and each Lender shall execute all such instruments and documents not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement as the Agent and/or the Nominee reasonably may request with respect to the creation and governance of any Nominee, the conduct of the Liquidation, and the management and disposition of any Post Foreclosure Asset. 
  

 117

public or private sale in its discretion) or sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or all or any portion of the Borrowers’ assets or stock following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder and in
connection therewith release the Lien thereon granted to the Agent hereunder. Each Lender hereby consents to the Agent’s release of the Liens granted to it in the Collateral in connection with a Liquidation or other sale of the Borrowers’
assets or stock following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder which the Agent determines is in the Lenders’ best interest. 
 18.5. Distribution of Liquidation Proceeds by Agent. 
 (a) The Agent may establish one or more reasonably funded reserve accounts into which proceeds of the conduct of any
Liquidation may be deposited in anticipation of future expenses which may be incurred by the Agent in the exercise of rights as a secured creditor and prior claims which the Agent anticipates may need to be paid.

pursuant to Section 18.5(a).

other sale of Collateral outside of the ordinary course of business shall be distributed based on the following relative priorities:

any Lender (other than any Deteriorating Lender); 
 (B) Second, to the Lenders (other than any Deteriorating
Lender), in respect to the Secured Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) owed to such Lenders or their Affiliates (including, but not limited to the Early Termination Fee); 
  

 118

 19. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
 19.1. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrowers, the Agent, and each Lender agreeing to provide a Commitment on the Restatement Date.

 19.2. Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless
the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each section applies equally to this entire Agreement. 
 19.3. Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against the Lender Group or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or
otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

 19.4. Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other
provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 
 19.5. Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an
original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of
this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement 
 19.6. Revival and Reinstatement of
Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Secured Obligations by any Borrower or any guarantor of the Secured Obligations or the transfer by any or all of such parties to the Lender Group of any property of either or both of such parties
should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, and other voidable
or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any

  

 119 








 
such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to
repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Borrowers or such guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such
Voidable Transfer had never been made. 
 19.7. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan
Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. 
 19.8. Existing Loan Agreement Superseded. On the Restatement Date, this Agreement shall supersede the Existing Loan
Agreement in its entirety, except as provided in this Section 19.8. On the Restatement Date, the rights and obligations of the parties evidenced by the Existing Loan Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, the “Advances” and all other “Obligations” as each such term is defined in the Existing Loan Agreement shall be converted to Advances and Obligations as defined herein and the Existing Letters of Credit issued by the
Agent for the account of the Borrowers prior to the Restatement Date shall be converted into L/Cs or L/C Guaranties, as applicable, under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent necessary, the Lenders and
the Agent reserve all of their rights under the Existing Loan Agreement in respect of all present and future Obligations under, inter alia, the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Agreement. All interest and fees and expenses,
if any, owing or accruing under or in respect of the Existing Loan Agreement through the Restatement Date shall be calculated as of the Restatement Date (pro rated in the case of any fractional periods), and shall be paid on the Restatement Date.
Commencing on the Restatement Date, the all fees hereunder shall be payable by the Borrowers to the Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement. 
 19.9. U.S. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT
Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
 19.10. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16 or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.16, if any Lender does not consent (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender and that
has been approved by the Required Lenders or any Lender is a Deteriorating Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 15.1), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this

  

 120 








 
Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Transferee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Transferee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided that: 
 (a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 15.1; 
 (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim
for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 
 (d) with respect to the replacement of any Non-Consenting Lender, such amendment, waiver or consent can be effected as a
result of such assignment (together with all other assignments required by the Agent to be made pursuant to this paragraph); and 
 (e) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 
 A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 19.11. Right of Set-Off. Any and all deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due to any
Borrower from any Agent or any Lender or any Participant or from any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, and any cash, securities, instruments or other property of any Borrower in the possession of any of the foregoing, whether for safekeeping or
otherwise (regardless of the reason such Person had received the same) shall at all times constitute security for any and all Secured Obligations of each Borrower to each Agent and such Lender or any Participant or such Affiliate and may be applied
or set off against Secured Obligations and against such obligations at any time, whether or not such are then due and whether or not other collateral is then available to any Agent or that Lender. 
 19.12. Pledges To Federal Reserve Banks. Nothing included in this Agreement shall prevent or limit any Lender, to the
extent that such Lender is subject to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. §341) from pledging all or any portion of that Lender’s interest and rights under this Agreement,
provided, however, neither such pledge nor the enforcement thereof shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. 
  

 121 








 19.13. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute among the Lenders and/or any
Agent concerning the interpretation, administration, or enforcement of the financing arrangements contemplated by this or any other Loan Document or the interpretation or administration of this or any other Loan Document which cannot be resolved
amicably shall be resolved in the United States District Court for the District of California, sitting in Los Angeles County, California, to the jurisdiction of which courts each Lender hereto hereby submits. 
 19.14. Press Releases. Each Borrower agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press
releases or other public disclosure using the name of Agents or their Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Agent and without the prior written consent
of the Agent unless (and only to the extent that) such Borrower or Affiliate is required to do so under Applicable Law and then, in any event, such Borrower or Affiliate will consult with Agent before issuing such press release or other public
disclosure. Each Borrower, on their own behalf and on behalf of their Affiliates, consents to the publication by Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any
Borrower’s or Affiliates name, product photographs, logo or trademark. Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft reasonably in advance of any advertising material to the Lead Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication thereof.
Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.
